Comments

The Austrian Mint in Vienna minted 125 .835 fine silver (83.5% silver, 16.5% copper) 1 krone pattern coins in 1898.

The Principality of Liechtenstein first issued the 1 krone coin in 1900, and it continued to be struck at the Austrian Mint until 1915. The coin has the same measurements and composition as the 1898 pattern. In addition, the obverse is nearly identical to that of the pattern coin, without Deloye's signature underneath the bust of Prince Johann II.
